    total area: 90.000 m²

    The provisional project of the Plaza de las Glorias includes four subprojects. Two of them with green areas and children’s spaces, the other two replace the old layout of the circulation of the old overpass. Access from the mountain side is located next to the species nursery, within the leisure and sports area. The access by the sea side is located next to the Pergola that hosts one of the exits of the Glorias metro (L1), is an ephemeral space that wants to become a new citizen meeting center, offering a shaded space and shelter with capacity to accommodate activities. On the mountain side we find areas for the practice of sports and citizen events as it provides playgrounds and living areas. All this area will have coverings with renaturalized pavements, and planting of plant species that will draw green stripes, and trees in pots.
